Does anti-slip paper also work in automated packaging lines with vacuum lifters?
Yes, we have specifically developed and optimized the coating of our anti-slip paper so that robots can automatically pick it up—depending on the technical capabilities on site—starting at a basis weight of 100 g/m². In doing so, we have taken special care to avoid any jamming so that only one sheet of interleaving paper is picked up at a time. When purchasing raw paper, we place great emphasis on consistently high quality. In addition, we test all batches in our laboratory and then archive the samples to ensure optimal traceability. We purchase only very high-quality raw paper, as the higher fiber density (and thus lower air permeability) enables flawless removal by robots.
Are sizes other than 74 x 114 cm (for Euro pallets) or 94 x 114 cm (for industrial pallets) available?
We can produce any size up to a maximum of 160 cm. We keep a large variety of raw paper roll widths in stock. We apply our “secret” coating to these rolls before your anti-slip paper is cut to your desired size in the next step by an automated, state-of-the-art cutting machine. If your order is less than one pallet, we can use another cutting machine to cut your desired size from our standard sizes. For example, we supply bakeries with small anti-slip inserts for cake boxes.
Is the anti-slip paper also available in rolls?
This is easily possible, as the non-slip paper is manufactured in rolls. However, the price per square meter changes only slightly. The cutting process is normally automated afterward. Due to their shape, shipping costs per roll are slightly higher, whereas the cut sheets are palletized optimally. For cutting, you need a suitable cutting machine that always keeps a cut sheet of anti-slip paper ready for use.
What if I need less than one pallet?
At our distribution warehouse in Bremen, we keep all standard grammages and formats in stock and can assist you with orders starting at approximately 1,000 sheets. There, we can also use our cutting machine to produce or cut custom formats for you in small quantities.
Is non-stick paper waterproof?
Thanks to its special anti-slip coating, our specialty paper has a certain COBB value, which varies slightly depending on the basis weight or quality. The effect is similar to that of a drop of water landing on a GORE-TEX jacket—the water rolls right off. However, this effect cannot be sustained in heavy or prolonged wet conditions—a plastic coating would be required for that.
Do you need paper that is completely waterproof? In that case, we offer a special custom coating.
What is the coefficient of sliding friction for the anti-slip paper?
The coefficient of sliding friction is decisive for the load-securing values of anti-slip paper and is measured in various ways. The value 0.6 µ, the guideline value of VDI Standard 2700 Sheet 14, is frequently cited. This value is maintained by our high-quality anti-slip paper for all common material combinations.
The exact coefficient of sliding friction depends on the combination of the different surfaces. Our anti-slip paper serves as a pallet liner to protect goods with smooth surfaces (e.g., coated or printed cardboard boxes) against shifting and slipping. We rely on the exceptionally even and smooth surface of our paper. This ensures excellent performance—that is, high sliding friction coefficients—on very slippery surfaces. You can imagine the ASP surface as if tiny gripping arms were gripping the minute irregularities of a smooth surface. Accordingly, the value of 0.6 µ is far exceeded, for example, in the metal-anti-slip paper-metal material combination; conversely, a lower coefficient of sliding friction is to be expected on very uneven surfaces.
Can food come into direct contact with non-stick paper?
Yes! We have obtained a food safety certificate for our non-stick paper, as we produce the coating ourselves and use neither plastic nor toxic substances. However, while the anti-slip coating is food-safe, this must also apply to the base paper when used with greasy or moist foods. For this reason, only our 65 g/m² anti-slip paper, which is based on a kraft liner, is fully food-safe. The other grammages are suitable only for non-greasy/non-moist foods.
Is non-stick paper reusable?
In general, the anti-slip paper retains its effectiveness even after repeated use. The higher the basis weight, the less damage the paper sustains with repeated use. At the end of its useful life, our anti-slip paper can be easily recycled.
